Introduction. The paper deals with the description of grammatical and word-formation features adjectives in Upper-Kama dialect Komi-Permian language. purpose study is to characterize syntactic relations an adjective a defined word; linguistic analysis categories adjective: consideration formation distribution members degrees comparison quality; identification word formation. Materials Methods. ...

Multiple chondritic meteorite fragments have been found in two sedimentary rock samples from an end-Permian bed at Graphite Peak in Antarctica. The Ni/Fe, Co/Ni, and P/Fe ratios in metal grains; the Fe/Mg and Mn/Fe ratios in olivine and pyroxene; and the chemistry of Fe-, Ni-, P-, and S-bearing oxide in the meteorite fragments are typical of CM-type chondritic meteorites. In one sample, the met...

High-resolution seismic reflections were used to map the upper 200 m along an approximately 22 km stretch of U.S. 50 highway in Reno County, Kansas, where natural and anthropogenic salt dissolution is known to threaten ground stability. Surface subsidence in this part of Kansas can range from gradual (an inch per year) to catastrophic (tens of feet per second), representing a significant risk t...

Two new species of therocephalian therapsids are described from the upper Permian Teekloof Formation of the Karoo Basin, South Africa. They include two specimens of a whaitsiid, Microwhaitsia mendrezi gen. et sp. nov., and a single, small whaitsioid Ophidostoma tatarinovi gen. et sp. nov., which preserves a combination of primitive and apomorphic features. A phylogenetic analysis of 56 therapsi...

a totall of 500 early permian samples from the chal-i-sheh formation in the zagros basin were examined palynollogically in order to determine the stratigraphical age of the formation and to assess the palaeogeopaphicd relatianships of this basin to the southern and northern hemispheres during the early permian. fifty-eight taxa were recorded including 46 pollen, 10 spore and 2 acritarch species...

In the Dusina area, which is built up of Lower Palaeozoic metasediments, Devonian carbonate complex and Upper Palaeozoic metarhyolites unconformably overlain by Upper Permian sediments, numerous ore occurrences have been investigated: (a) "stratabound" metamorphic hematite deposits in the pre-Devonian metasediments; (b) epigenetic veins and pipes of barite (& calcite) with accessory Hg-tetrahed...

New detrital-zircon geochronologic data reveal that a through-going paleoriver connected Texas with Nevada in Late Triassic time. Sandstone from the Upper Triassic Santa Rosa Sandstone (Dockum Group) from northwestern Texas contains a detrital zircon suite nearly identical to that found in western Nevada in the Upper Triassic Osobb Formation (Auld Lang Syne Group, correlative with the Chinle Fo...

The ultimate cause(s) of the end-Permian mass extinction (∼252 Ma ago) has been disputed. A complex interplay various effects, rather than a single, universal killing mechanism, were most likely involved. Climate warming as consequence greenhouse gas emissions by contemporaneous Siberian Traps volcanism is widely accepted an initial trigger. Synergetic effects global include increasing stratifi...
